REINCARNATION OF THIEVING GIRLS

146 - 148

Chapter 146: The Witch (2)

Suddenly, an ominous warning appeared in his mind. He immediately walked towards Lin Ke. He reached out his hand and held Lin Ke's jaw to tilt his head so that he could look into his eyes.

Other than panic, there was only nervousness in Lin Ke's eyes. Na Ken immediately channeled his magic to Lin Ke.

The influx of magic quickly spread throughout Lin Ke's body, and as it spread to his nerves, Na Ken could feel another type of magic colliding with him.

Magic is fragile, like the remains of fragments. However, pieces of those fragments could be found throughout Lin Ke's nerves.

Teacher Na Ken? Lin Ke asked while standing there anxiously. He could detect the seriousness of the situation from Na Ken's expression.

"Take these three bidders for the rest of your team and immediately follow me out of the Unknown Forest!" Na Ken said firmly. The rest of the magic in Lin Ke's body was different from magus power. It carried a strong corrosive attribute, so it was obviously magic witch!

The number of magicians had decreased over the years, and they were extremely rare in the Brilliance Continent. There were no more than a few that could be found in the entire Longxuan Empire. However, he had also found the magic fragment left behind by the curse on Lin Ke, so obviously, someone had used a curse on Lin Ke!

He also assumed that Lin Ke's strange behavior was due to a curse.

Could there be witches in the Obscure Forest?

The witches in the Brilliance Continent were almost extinct due to the suppression from other factions. Those survivors had joined the dark organization that was opposing the various influences on the Brilliance Continent. If witches were to hide in the Unknown Forest, then the students could be in danger!

The witch could have been there to hurt the students to take their revenge against Longxuan Empire.

Lin Ke did not understand what had happened. He could only follow Na Ken's instructions blindly and go to the hot spring with the poison duster bottle and the clothes of his team members.

Na Ken then managed to lead a group of confused students out of the Unknown Forest.

As they exited the forest, Na Ken immediately led Lin Ke to the Saint Laurent Academy campground.

Some students sit in the camp. They had been brought back by their respective teachers after they were eliminated, and they sat there dejectedly.

Na Ken took Lin Ke to the biggest tent in the campground, which was also the gathering place of all the teachers of Saint Laurent Academy.

As Na Ken entered the tent, he realized that there were already several teachers inside. All of them sat at a long table with grim expressions on their faces. It was as if something had happened.

"Na Ken, you're back." One of the older teachers greeted Na Ken. As his gaze was fixed on Lin Ke, he said, "Are these students injured? You can take her to the medical tent there. "

Na Ken hurriedly said, "No! I didn't bring him here to treat his injuries. Instead, I found something strange inside her body, so, I brought her here. "

"Something weird?" Na Ken's words attracted all the teachers' attention.

"When I went to get their team, I noticed that this student was acting a bit strange. So, I decided to check it out with my magic, and I saw some remnants of corrosive magic fragmented around her nerves, " Na Ken said.

"What!" Kang Si, who had returned earlier, stood up from his chair in surprise.

"Na Ken, are you sure that you didn't feel it wrong?" The older teacher asked again carefully.

"I'm sure!" Na Ken nodded his head with determination.

The older teacher immediately frowned. He then turned to talk to Lin Ke, who was very nervous, "Student, you can leave now."

Lin Ke nodded uneasily, then he left the tent.

He did not understand why teacher Na Ken would say that there was something strange about him. He was also worried when his teacher said that there were corrosive magic fragments around his nerves. Did he somehow suffer from a strange illness?

Lin Ke decided to go to the medical tent. He did not want to die young! She had not experienced such an embarrassing situation with the schoolgirls, so she did not want to die just yet!

"What?" Na Ken was stunned. Has the witch started attacking the students?

"Kang Si, tell me the story again."

Kang Si looked towards the restless Na Ken, and he carefully said, "I am in charge of one of the most powerful teams in the exam. However, all of them lost their badges last night, and I felt strange. Although Cao Xu of the Swordsman Division was a little impulsive and arrogant, Meng Yiheng and Shangguan Xiao of the Archery and Herbalist Division were quite reasonable. They were the first team to be eliminated from the test. "

Na Ken's jaw was open. He did not know the news. When the students were divided into teams, the teachers secretly judged them. One of the strongest teams consisted of the best students from the Magus, Priest, and Knight divisions. They were Qi Xia, Yan Yu, and Yang Xi respectively, and they also had two first-year students from the Herbalism Division. One of the other strongest teams consisted of the number one students from the Swordsmen, Archer, and Herbalist divisions. They were Cao Xu, Meng Yiheng and Shangguan Xiao, respectively. They also had Qian Shanni, who was ranked second in the Priest Division, and Li Xiang, one of the top ten students in the Magus Division.

Both teams were equally suited if one judged them based on their strength. Na Ken was a teacher of the Magus Division, and as such, he knew how talented Qi Xia was as a magus. He could have beaten any second-ranked student.

However, Qi Xia's team decided to accept the two first-year students from the Herbalism Division, who would not be able to help them at all.

So, Shangguan Xiao's team had a higher chance of winning the exam. After all, the number one position he had in the Herbalism Division was not just for show. Even the teachers of the Herbalism Division were convinced that Shangguan Xiao would be the first to produce the antidote.

Therefore, in comparison, Cao Xu's team had already had the upper hand.

It was hard to imagine a strong team like them being the first to be knocked out of the test.

"I was curious how they got knocked out at the beginning of the test, but I went to pick them up as per the rules. However, I felt something was wrong when I got there. " He remembered how the other four members criticized Cao Xu unanimously. They said that he was the reason they lost all their badges.

As for Cao Xu, he repeatedly denied their accusations.

From Cao Xu's agitated reaction and angry demeanor, he was able to conclude that he wasn't lying about the situation.

"I casually asked Meng Yiheng and the others about how they lost the badge. Except for Cao Xu, the other fourth statement matched. They stated that Cao Xu woke them up in the middle of the night and asked for their badge to be secured. When they woke up in the morning, Cao Xu had lost all their badges and insisted that he had not taken any of them. In addition to waking up once to urinate yesterday, he slept through the night, "said Kang Si.

"You mean someone controlled Cao Xu and used him to obtain their team's badge?" Na Ken asked as he came to his senses.

"When I brought Lin Ke's team back, they didn't even realize that they had lost their badge. They only realized it when I told them. They had also given their badges to Lin Ke, the student I just brought here, for safekeeping. "

Both the student teams of Kang Si and Na Ken had faced very similar situations. One person had held the badge, and then they misplaced it. More importantly, the same students had fragmented magic remnants on their bodies!

"Evidently, all of this was done by one person," said the older teacher as they were all aware of that one fact. Magic with corrosive attributes can only come from one profession – magicians!

"Should we report this to the dean and immediately stop the test?" Other teachers were very concerned about the safety of their students. Many of the teams they were responsible for were still in the Invisible Forest. The Warlock had visited two teams, and they were worried that he would do the same with the other teams.

Everyone knew that the witch was evil and cunning, and no one could guarantee that she would not hurt the other students.

The older teacher pondered for a moment, and then said, "We need to report this to the dean. However, for now there is no need to stop testing. "

"Why?"

"The magician has attacked two teams. What if"

A group of teachers riled up. Although magicians are also trained in magic as a foundation, similar to magus, they will forever be a part of the dark side.

"please calm. Although the witch had cast a curse on the two students, they were not physically injured. This shows that the casters are only meant to control them and do not intend to hurt them. Otherwise, none of these two teams would be able to leave the forest intact. " It seems clear that older teachers have more experience and are not as afraid of witches as other teachers.

"Then what is he trying to do? I have asked Cao Xu. Other than the badge, he had lost nothing. " Kang Si failed to understand the actions of the witch.

"Since witches don't hurt students or steal anything other than the badges used in this test, it's possible" Kang Si had a frightening thought, instead, and he nervously looked towards the older teacher.

The older teacher frowned and hesitated before he said, "I know what you want to say. From these two encounters, it seems like the witch is a student of our Saint Laurent Academy. Currently, he is an examinee".
